We recently got a visit from Nate “Igor” Smith of Driven by Boredom, who was in town on vacation, as well as the lovely Dana DeArmond. Igor has been documenting a lot of the nightlife party scene through his outstanding Photography for the past decade or so. He has his own blog where he posts his work which I recommend you check, if you haven’t already. Although I am sure you are familiar with his work, as he shot our Spring 2009 look-book.

Like I mentioned before, these past couple of weeks Igor was in town on vacation but somehow ended up shooting a few events. Most notably, he shot the Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC). An event that generated more headlines than it did abortions. Be sure you check out his shots from the mayhem. He also did the Morrissey/Smiths convention for LA Weekly while he was in town.

I have to admit though, I was a bit surprised to see Igor out during the day. He, believe it or not is a vampire, and is hardly ever spotted during the day. Nonetheless it was fun to shoot the breeze with the guy who hardly has any time for leisure.

The lovely Dana, who strolled down to the LA store for her first time, was a blast. She has her own website as well; be sure to check her out. I’m sure you’ll get a kick out of her blog which has an abundance of images that will make you want to befriend her. For those of you who are not familiar with her work, she is an adult film star and model as well as a full time tweeter.

A simple google search will reveal what a web phenom she has become as “the internet’s girlfriend.” Dana herself has even done some modeling for us. In fact, she came in with Igor just before shooting these pics…

Head over to Driven by Boredom to see more of Igor’s photoshoot with Dana DeArmond. We’ll keep you posted on when he puts up part two from his series. And if those pics aren’t enough to satiate you for now, check out Dana’s site and be sure to follow both her and Igor on twitter.
